Mis heard sing lyrics.

I can’t say this IRL it’s too embarrassing.

Coldplay - my universe.

I thought it was called “my hidden reverse” and the Japanese singing was some sort of reverse singing hidden message. Just realised the lyrics in Apple Music lyrics are not a subliminal reverse massage but Japanese lyrics. Thank god I didn’t sing that out loud at work - hidden reverse.

@APJ1

Oh dear, the very dedicated BTS fanbase would totally rip you apart for talking 'Japanese lyrics' on that song!

This was my first thought too 😆

Cracking up at these.

Queen from Bohemian Rhapsody: "Beelzebub has a devil in a sidecar".

Dance, dance wherever you may be. I am the Lord of the damp settee".

I'm still convinced of Madonna's girl with eyes like potatoes though.

You make me feel like an actual woman instead of natural woman is mine. Blush

JustAnother30Something · 12/12/2021 11:39

@paisley256 are those the actual words??

I've been singing '...now you're in the world'

shreddednips · 12/12/2021 11:40

My mother heard the lyrics to the Darkness as 'get your hands off my woman mother BARCODE' instead of motherfucker. Love her Grin

JustAnother30Something · 12/12/2021 11:41

Nevermind

That's CLEARLY what you wrote. I just can't read

shreddednips · 12/12/2021 11:48

Oh my friend also did the most amazing maroon 5 mishear.

Say, say, say, hey, hey now baby
You gon' make me hit you with that lay down, baby (what does that mean???)

Became: gonna make me hit you with a ladle, baby.

The funniest one I read on here ages ago was someone's grandmother who thought the lyrics to Ghostbusters was " who you gonna call... those bastards".

@KloppsTeeth

They’re all coming back to me now:

American National Anthem “oh say can’t you see”, I heard
“José can’t you see” like it was some sort of big F you to the Mexicans.

Jason Derulo had “the shits on the floor, nothing on me!”

George Ezra “but for you, yoooou, you, I’ll diddley-doh!”

Maggie May by Rod Stewart was “as blind as fool can be” but for years I thought he was “as blind as a fuckin’ bee”

Grin

Oh the George Ezra one..it.isnt that?!?!

Stooshe...Black Heart. First time heard it thought said was Big and black.. not big and bad..saying that the song is mehh anyway

LouiseBelchersBunnyEars · 12/12/2021 14:08

Florence and there machine - such sweet nothing

For the longest time I thought she was singing about a ‘sexy elephant’ 🙈🤣

Thefartingsofaofdenmarkstreet · 12/12/2021 14:12

In Moana, during the song she sings when her dead granny comes back as a ghost, there is a line that totally sounds like 'it's like the tiiiide, always fuckin rising'.

I had to look it up and the tide is 'always falling and rising' apparently.

TSSDNCOP · 12/12/2021 18:30

Adele singing When We Were Young about the dude being photographed in lidocaine when she unclearly meant light again.

To be fair, when I hear Adele sing I want to reach for lidocaine.

TSSDNCOP · 12/12/2021 18:32

@TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth I thought it was machine gun 🤣

Joolsin · 12/12/2021 18:34

Wham "Last Christmas". The line that goes "this year, to save me from tears". I always thought it was "this year, to semi frontiers"

fabfeb · 12/12/2021 18:34

I sang 'Miss Miller!' at the top of my voice for years. As you do with Bohemian Rhapsody.

Peter Kay does quite a funny sketch of misheard lyrics

ReginaaPhalange · 12/12/2021 18:38

Jason derulo "it's too hot to sleep, I've got the shits on the floor" instead of "I've got the sheets on the floor". Can't remember the song - want to want me??

RussianRuby · 12/12/2021 18:42

Realised this year I’ve been singing Silent Night wrong all my life - the line ‘radiance streams from heaven above’ I always thought was ‘radiant scenes from heaven above’

KimDeals · 12/12/2021 18:42

@FourNaanJeremy

I’ve thought my entire life that Michael Jackson was singing ‘Eddie are you wonky, are you wonky Eddie’ in Smooth Criminal until about a month ago when I discovered it was ‘Annie are you ok’ Hmm
GrinGrin I can totally hear that!!!! That’s very funny!
KimDeals · 12/12/2021 18:45

That song from Dirty Dancing

I can mash potato (mash potato)
Do the twist (do the twist)
Now tell me baby (tell me baby)
Do you like it like this?

My fiend thought it was

I’m a mas-ter-bator (masterbator)
I can do the twist ….

I always hear it that way now!

MysticCT · 12/12/2021 18:46

My DH thought Don Henley's Boys of Summer was called Poison Summer.
I thought Justin from The Darkness was singing tossing on a Friday night instead of dancing on a Friday night Blush

BreakfastOfWaffles · 12/12/2021 18:47

Can't remember who it's by, but that clubbing song that says "We're going to Ibiza"... I thought for ages they were going to eat pizza!

ODFOgrinch · 12/12/2021 19:00

@mumofEandE

Alanis Morrisette 'Ironic' I used to sing 'death row hard on' not 'death row pardon'
A death row hard on a minute too late is really quite unpleasant and a touch too graphic for the mainstream chart isn't it?

A bit like the nasty discussion by Meat 1 (probably) in Tom Sharpe's Wilt, about having to put lattice pants on female hanging sentencees, so that their insides don't fall out.

ALongHardWinter · 12/12/2021 19:03

For a long time I thought the first line of Hot Chocolate's song 'You sexy thing' was 'I believe in Malcolm'. It's 'I believe in miracles'.

Joolsin · 12/12/2021 19:19

When DD was little we were in a shop one day and the song "Sex on the Beach" was being played. DD, in her buggy, sang loudly "I wanna SIT on the beach" and a passing woman said to me "oh, that's so much nicer"!
